TEMPORAL ASPECT OF THE IMAGE OF SCOTLAND IN THE POETRY OF SCOTTISH POETS-EMIGRANTS OF THE USA OF THE XIXth CENTURY

The article deals with the image of Scotland in temporal aspect. This aspect is represented by «Scottish time» and realized in two temporal organizations of poetic texts: 1) ring (mythopoetic model of the "eternal return"); 2) targeted (historical model of "progress"). Mythopoetic model of the "eternal return" is dominant in the creation of the image of Scotland. Historical model of "progress" appeals to historical time (Scotland from the time of Robert Bruce to Scotland contemporary to them). This peculiarity is connected with patriotic orientation of poetic texts. Historical time connects poetic texts of Scottish emigrants both with Scottish literary tradition and American historical and patriotic poetry.
